How to get started?

Hi there, I have started to learn HTML in the past few weeks, but I am still an absolute beginner . I have my own game -  Rulers - that I am playtesting, and I am interested in creating a character sheet for it. So, how do I get started? I saw the stuff on GitHub but I have no idea what to do with it or where it goes. Are there comprehensive tutorials somewhere? Cheers!

Here's a page from the wiki that should help you get started. You might also want to start getting familiar with CSS to style the HTML in your character sheet. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets</a>

You will also have to be a pro subscriber to build &nbsp;test custom sheets on roll20 unless you can talk a pro subscriber to test it for you.

True. I will edit my original statement to reflect that.
Thanks for your responses! So what is my very first step. On the wiki it says "To build a sheet from scratch, choose the "Custom" option in the drop-down of your Game Settings page when choosing a character sheet template" but I cannot find such an option.

Character sheets are simply HTML+CSS. The Custom option mentioned is used to put your sheet into your own Roll20 campaign without going through the community sheet process (mostly so you can test them to make sure they look good and work before submitting them), and is only available to Pro subscribers. You can create a sheet without it and submit it to the character sheet repository, it would simply be untested. It's best to get yourself a Pro account or work with someone who has a Pro account so that you can test it before submission.
